The first step of .

The majority of exams are based on practical skills only.

But there are exceptions to everything.

Professor Choi Chae-gul’s exam was unusual in that both written and practical exams were heavily weighted.

The score distribution was also 10% higher than other subject evaluations.

‘I heard that the chairman of the board pushed for it.’

There was no significant difference until last year, but I heard that starting this year, the obligation for cadets to collect by-products has been increased.

This is something I personally agree with as well.

In , it is important to fight well, but you also had to have good knowledge of , which involves judging and identifying profitable parts.

To do that, you have to touch it with your own hands.

Furthermore, we had to understand to some extent the difficulties faced by professionals who do this work.

Chairman Yoo Neung-hae was well aware of the trend in which most cadets were reluctant to do such things and regarded them as degrading.

That’s why efforts are being made to improve awareness even a little by increasing the proportion of scores.

‘I don’t know how effective it will be.’

It would be better than just giving up and watching.

Anyway, here are the random thoughts.

Whirling.

I lowered the butcher knife in my hand at an angle.

‘It would be better to burn all the fur first.’

I activated [Burning Fire] on the blade and raised the temperature appropriately.

Grumble-!

Ssuk, Ssuk!

After stirring it a few times, all of the fur on the hoofed goat came off.

‘Probably Junayong is doing something similar right now.’

Personally, I think they like flirting with each other because I know them.

After burning off all the fur, I looked at the heel of .

This guy doesn’t seem to be a special case with a magic stone embedded in it.

‘then… ‘

What you need to prioritize is your heart.

I slowly and meticulously peeled off the skin, pulled out the intestines, and pulled out the heart that was hanging from the buttocks.

When I put it into the container prepared next to me, the blood drained immediately and it was sealed.

‘The rest of the body slowly… ‘

The knowledge about slaughter that Mnyangi had taught me naturally comes to mind.

This soon gave wings to , which was already fast.

[A sensitive and detailed sense flows through your blade.]

[The blade, which has been used steadily for a long time, digs mercilessly into the by-products of the monster.]

[The level of ‘Delicate Slaughter’ increases.]

[Spirit increases by 1 as a level reward.]

Unexpected level-up and acquired rewards.

Thanks to this, was completed in just 20 minutes.

“Hu… ”

I got up, wiped off all the blood and debris, and moved to the next room.

The total time given for the practical test is 2 hours.

There are two types of monsters assigned to each cadet.

‘I don’t know what will come out.’

Since it is generally accepted that the second monster is more difficult, it will not be solved as easily as .

That’s how we entered the private room.

A persimmon-green anaconda was lying in the center of the room.

“… Oh?”

This is a guy I’ve seen before.

“This is , right?”

*

Last 4th week.

Memories of the time when we fought against the great disaster called .

And the C-class dungeon where trolls appeared.

This guy was a that appeared there with 100% probability.

‘I remember… ‘

Because he was the one who had the misfortune of appearing in front of us and blocking us.

I never thought I’d see it like this again.

but…

‘It’s a bit small in size?’

I looked around and realized it was a baby, not an adult.

Well, if you think about it, it was natural.

No matter how great is, it would be impossible to have dozens of monsters that are like mid-bosses.

‘shall we start.’

I made fun of the butcher knife in a somewhat light-hearted way.

An opponent I have defeated once.

That’s probably why I let my guard down.

Deep!

Grumbling…

“Huh?”

I must have accidentally pierced the intestines, and something like black liquid was flowing out.

I soon realized that what I had touched was a poison sac due to the strong smell that hit my nose.

‘this?!’

I was completely embarrassed.

As far as I know, the was a completely non-venomous monster.

‘… ah!’

Then, belatedly, a magazine thought crossed my mind.

right. I had seen it in a book.

was an unusual case in that it possessed deadly venom during its growth period, but disappeared as it became an adult.

‘I’m sure you said it grows using poison as nutrients, right?’

When they are young, their abilities are weak, so they rely on poison to hunt.

It is said that becoming an adult is enough to achieve explosive growth by converting the poison in the body into a type of energy.

I realized this instinctively.

This is the one that Professor Choi Chae-gul prepared most sensibly.

There was a reason why the faces of the classmates who entered earlier were dark.

‘… calm down.’

I exhaled and controlled my breathing.

[Your judgment allows you to see the light even in difficult situations.]

[‘Unwavering Insight’ is activated.]

I was in a hurry.

Although, quite a few parts are discarded due to poison.

If you react calmly even now, you will be able to produce good results.

I put down the butcher knife.

In a state where it was this much covered up, it would have been better to just tear it apart with your hands.

Suddenly.

Chi profit…

“Ugh.”

I feel a subtle heat sensation running through my hand.

It felt as if my skin was on fire.

[A terrible poison flows through my body. Your understanding of dealing with deadly poison increases.]

[Detects sticky blood flow. Your understanding of handling blood increases.]

[Poison and blood resistance increases by 1.]

As I slowly tore it apart one by one, I was able to salvage all the parts that could be salvaged.

‘The problem is the area where the poison spread… ‘

Normally I would have given up, but at that moment, a surprising idea occurred to me.

Dokdo is ultimately liquid anyway.

When it comes to liquid, it’s water.

‘Then wouldn’t it be possible to control it?’

I closed my eyes, feeling like I was at a loss.

A powerful Epic level skill that was recently acquired while using minimal magical power.

[Spouting Tsunami] was cast.

A special effect appears that drastically increases your understanding and talent for water.

This was immediately proven as poison rising like droplets from the corpse.

Wow, Mr…

“This is what happens?”

After a while.

A fist-sized liquid mixed with poison and blood formed a sphere in my hand.

I thought that maybe the uses poison in a similar way, and looked at the area where all the poison had come out.

‘good!’

Even if this isn’t a perfect score, it should be enough to aim for the top rank.

*

When I came out, my companions who had all taken the exam were waiting for me.

“Muaa~Sehaya!”

The angel-like mnyang comes running towards me, saying, ‘Mddada-!’

I immediately hugged him and gave him a soft and chewy cheek for the first time in a long time! pulled.

hmm. It looks like they are eating these plump and soft crabs regularly.

“Muuang. Huzmuang… ”

“Hehe… ”

Next, Moon Bo-ra… …

“Heung~”

Um, well…

My unique ‘Now, why don’t you ask me a question?’ Looking at the confident expression on his face, it looks like he did a good job as expected of an elite.

As a bonus, Joo Na-yong’s expression was surprisingly good.

“Yongheung… Yoo Se-ha! Should I get a higher test score this time?”

How are you?

Even bragging?

It’s Yongheung here…

I chuckled, as if it was a bit absurd.

Still, I feel good that everyone enjoyed it.

“Muaa~Sehaya. I’m hungry.”

“Really? Then shall we go eat?”

“Seha. Of course it’s there, right?”

“Then, there it is.”

“Yongwoowuck… Again?”

I nodded towards Joo Na-yong, who was looking at me with a tired face.

“Let’s go eat some soup.”

* * *

The second day after the test.

“Then, let’s start the test now. Everyone, work hard.”

Bong Michun, smiling, handed out test papers to each person one by one.

‘Ugh… ‘

However, unlike such ordinary methods, the content of the problem was quite bloody.

‘Wow crazy… ‘You all hinted at this during class, right?’

indeed…

The 2nd and 3rd year seniors said that this was a real evil, and I thought there was a good reason to quit school.

―… Mauuu, mauuu, mauuu, mauuu! Mauuk!!! No matter how much of a test it is, Professor Bong Michun’s questions are very brutal. If I made a mistake, I almost would have had to repeat a grade, right?

―… Professor Bong Mi-chun? Ah, I remember. When I was still inexperienced in first grade. This was the first subject I received a failing grade in. At that time, I truly blamed the Lord. It was truly a relaxing experience. I hope junior Yoo Se-ha does not go through the same lax procedures as I did…

“Queueuung.”

I did my best to solve the problem using my brain.

It’s harder than you imagine. I got stuck along the way, but every time I got stuck, the ‘Petite Moon Bora’ in my head helped me a lot.

―Seha, do you see page 19 here? Here, Professor Bong Mi-chun says, ‘Now that I think about it, this is what I experienced… ‘ He said something like he was spilling it. It’s just my opinion, but I think this part will appear on the exam.

―Seha, take a closer look below page 40. This is a description of . If you read it, you will see the part about the faces of the chicken and the snake. There is a high probability that there will be an explanation as to which side takes the lead here. is basically dominated by the chicken’s head. On the other hand, detection and petrification attacks are functions of the snake head. Please study this part carefully as well.

‘Wow, really… ‘

This was truly amazing.

Without adding a single exaggeration, everything Moon Bo-ra said appeared on the test.

I thanked her again.

Thanks to Bora Bora, I was able to finish Bong Michun’s test with a better score than I expected.

* * *

“Then, let’s start the exam.”

A female professor wearing sharp triangular glasses finished speaking simply.

It was Professor Kankanmi, who was in charge of the class.

‘good.’

After Professor Kankanmi’s exam is over, all that’s left is Cha Yeoju. And it’s just Peng Jin-ah’s practical test.

In fact, it means that this is the final exam.

‘You don’t have to memorize until your head hurts anymore!”

I thought I was finally free from the boring textbooks and workbooks.

That’s why I put my all into this writing.

As soon as I received the test paper, I solved it.

‘I’m feeling relieved.’

In fact, even though I didn’t study for the test, I was confident that I would get a high score.

Well, it’s a very easy subject for me.

‘Even if I look like this, I am a goth and have been in my 6th year. ‘This is it.’

In fact, it would be even weirder if you couldn’t solve it.

Most of the problems were questions about strategic deployment, as seen in ‘Gothra’.

There are a few things that are puzzling, but I took a closer look at these as well with [unwavering insight]. I was able to be sure which was closer to the correct answer.

[Your tactics unlock excellent insight.]

[The ability to use judgment in the right place at the right time shines. However, it seems like they still don’t know that excess of anything is not good.]

[The level of ‘Unwavering Insight’ increases.]

[Spirit increases by 1 as a level reward.]

‘Oh, that’s good.’

Even level up at the same time.

[Unwavering Insight] has already reached level 9.

‘Based on my experience, I think something will come out when it reaches 10.’

I nodded in satisfaction and steadily defeated each item one by one.

I guess I solved about half of it.

Suddenly, blue magical energy began to emanate from the test paper.

Thinking that something had come, I put the test paper in the groove next to the desk.

Sigh!

Blue magical power.

It took a while for the magic trick to spread.

The small was updated before my eyes.

These were very familiar things.

‘The ones I went out and solved.’

It is a manifestation of a magic tool commonly called .

Professor Kankanmi’s test was structured so that half of the test was done by hand.

In fact, itself includes a practical skill called strategic command.

It certainly seemed like the cadets would click their tongues and find it difficult.

‘Of course it’s not me.’

I clicked right on the first question.

Geographical features appeared in an instant, and the environment, weather, and structures were displayed.

Next, the four who need help are arranged like chess pieces.

Finally, about 20 orcs are summoned, which are obstacles in front and must be defeated.

I smiled.

Indeed, it comes out like this. Is this it?

‘first… ‘

First of all, a tank that will perform reliably on the front line…

I threw it away in a corner.

The priest who received the most aggro was placed in the most dangerous place.

Soon, the orcs ran towards the priest with a ferocious force, as if they had been waiting.

―Ugh, uhhh!!! Oh my god, how can this be such a cruel arrangement!

A scream came from the mouth of a priest who was being lynched by a group, but he did not care.

While the priest was holding on by healing himself, the other three were annihilating the orcs one by one.

I was sure.

This is the correct answer.

‘This is it…’ ‘

It was an operation that produced good results with the least amount of sacrifice.
